There's still some energy left in me, despite the colossal home relocation exercise. I'm flying off this morning for a weekend of cookery classes in Alice Springs, my last ones for 2006.
As you can see from the map, Alice Springs is situated in the Northern Territory of Australia. Its population of around 30,000 makes it the second-largest settlement in the Territory (the only other towns of significant size are Darwin, the capital, and Katherine).
It is popularly described as 'the Alice' or simply 'Alice'. Alice Springs is known as Mparntwe to its traditional inhabitants, the Arrernte people. Alice Springs is almost equidistant between Darwin and Adelaide.
This weekend has been booked for some time, and I'm really looking forward to it. If you're good I'll post some pictures.
